Psychopharmacology

Psychopharmacology is more than just prescribing medication—it’s about understanding the whole person. While psychiatric medications can be an important tool in treating conditions like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders, they are most effective when prescribed with a deep understanding of the patient’s life story, psychological makeup, and the emotional context of their struggles.

Whether or not psychotherapy is part of the treatment plan, my approach to psychopharmacology is not just about symptoms—it’s about understanding who you are, how you experience the world, and what truly matters to you. The way a person responds to medication isn’t just biological; it’s shaped by their history, relationships, personality, and unconscious dynamics. Thoughtful prescribing means considering all of these factors—not just which medication is “supposed” to work based on a diagnosis.

My approach to medication is thoughtful, individualized, and grounded in a deep understanding of who you are.
